OUR PEDIATRIC DENTISTS

Our pediatric dentists, Dr. Feldman and Dr. Berkower, are board-certified pediatric dentists that have decades of experience in caring for pediatric patients. In pediatric dentistry, there’s a high level of psychology involved in the way we help our young patients during their care procedures. Through key language skills, voice control, protective stabilization, sedation options, and a tell-show-do approach, our pediatric dentists make going to the dentist a pleasant experience for even the most anxious child.

CHILDREN’S PREVENTIVE CARE

The top priority for our pediatric patients is to keep their smiles healthy and happy so that less treatment is needed in the future. We do this by offering comprehensive, age-appropriate therapies like regular exams, orthodontic screenings, gentle cleanings, education on oral hygiene, digital x-rays assessing tooth development, and preventive and supplemental treatments such as fluoride.

SEALANTS

Sealants are a thin, protective coating bonded to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars). This coating forms a shield over the enamel of each tooth keeping bits of food out of the grooves and depressions of the teeth. This stops bacteria from settling on your tooth, stopping early stages of decay and preventing cavities from forming. Sealants are usually placed when the permanent back teeth come in, starting at age 6.

TOOTH-COLORED FILLINGS

When baby teeth develop a cavity, it can spread to developing adult teeth. Our pediatric dentists perform minimally invasive fillings that match the natural tooth color and which prevent oral health complications. Dr. Feldman and Dr. Berkower strive to address cavities in early stages, when treatment is comfortable and before neighboring teeth are affected.

PEDIATRIC DENTAL EXAMS

Our pediatric dental exams are tailored to create a positive and comfortable experience for your child. During these appointments, our friendly dentists will perform a comprehensive examination of your child’s teeth, gums, and oral structures. We use a gentle approach to put your child at ease, ensuring a stress-free visit. Regular dental exams are crucial in monitoring oral health development and detecting any potential issues early on.

ORTHODONTIC SCREENINGS

Early orthodontic screenings allow us to identify potential alignment issues or jaw irregularities in your child’s developing dentition. By catching these concerns early, we can plan for timely orthodontic interventions if needed, ensuring your child’s smile develops harmoniously. Our experienced team is dedicated to providing personalized orthodontic guidance to set your child up for a beautiful and well-aligned smile.

GENTLE CLEANINGS

Maintaining proper oral hygiene is essential for every child’s dental health. Our gentle cleanings involve removing plaque and tartar buildup while ensuring your child feels comfortable throughout the process. We take the time to educate your child on effective brushing and flossing techniques, empowering them to take charge of their oral hygiene habits.

EDUCATION ON ORAL HYGIENE

We believe that education plays a pivotal role in promoting good oral health habits. Our pediatric dental team takes the time to educate both parents and children on the importance of oral hygiene practices. We offer practical tips and guidance to help your child develop excellent oral care habits that will benefit them for a lifetime.

DIGITAL X-RAYS ASSESSING TOOTH DEVELOPMENT

Digital X-rays provide valuable insights into your child’s dental health, enabling us to assess tooth development, identify hidden dental issues, and monitor growth and eruption patterns. Our advanced digital technology reduces radiation exposure, making it safe and efficient for your child’s dental care.

FLUORIDE TREATMENTS

Fluoride is a vital mineral that strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent cavities. Our fluoride treatments are quick and painless, providing an added layer of protection for your child’s growing teeth. By incorporating fluoride into your child’s routine dental care, we can help minimize the risk of tooth decay and promote optimal dental health.
